SummaryJudgment Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Honestley have to see first who is eligible and then watch them play. Farragut and Hardin Valley have a lot of talent so I look forward to the battles. The best teams I've seen were the Kat Huson Ravenwood teams and the Hunter Thompson Brentwood teams. I would've love to have seen the 2009 DB team but that was before my volleyball time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chill Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Article II, section 13e Any student who transfers to a school where there is a coach who has an athletic coaching link to the student within the previous 12 months will be ineligible.

What if they move? Hypothetical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chill Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 According to TSSAA, it doesn't matter if there is a change of address for a kid with an athletic record. Incoming freshman don't apply to this rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2ruth Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I disagree. If they have a valid change of address they are ok. The dad of one of the players bought a condo to have a residence. The Hames own k2 if that rule applied it would affect all club players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyronNix Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Chill is correct if the Jay guy coached them in any type of club team or summer league they will not be eligible with a change of address. This is assuming they are not 8th graders. This rule has been put into place to help stop AAU bball recruitment. Ask the 3 former bball coaches at Harriman about it.

chill Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Change of residence is trumped by a coaching relationship in the past 12 months. It could be as little as one training session. This is from Gene Menees at TSSAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2ruth Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I can't believe that is correct. Jay runs the entire club, he works with all of the players. These girls only changed schools to play for Jay. This is not a fair rule. Why punish these players for wanting to get better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chill Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Not punishing the players. The rule is designed to stop club/AAU/travel baseball/etc coaches from influencing school choice. The girls in question are leaving their home school to go to the school where the club director coaches. This rule makes it very clear that the TSSAA believes this is recruiting. They believe it is blatant recruiting to the point that a change of address doesn't outweigh coach influence. It was designed to stop a certain Nashville private school basketball coach from getting players he was training to transfer. Whether he was influencing or the kid/parents made a decision doesn't matter to the TSSAA anymore. If a kid has been coached/trained/worked out in the last 12 months, the kid can not then transfer to that coach's school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chill Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 This rule was put on the books last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2ruth Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 That is wrong. They have the chance to play for a great coach. Why should they be punished. I think given who these athletes are, and that it is Maryville, an exception will be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyronNix Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 The rule might seem unfair from one side, but the other side doesn't feel the same. I am not a believer in transferring when a school has invested a spot in a certain individual that could of went to another kid who lost the opportunity to be a part of that team. Now another kid or two will lose a spot because of the transfer. Too many have forgotten that the kids should come first in high school athletics. Plus it has been stated by k2 that they don't need high school anyway. So why bother with transferring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
